Our Tai Chi classes integrate rhythmic movements and centering practices under the guidance of certified instructor Lenny Burlingame.

This therapeutic experience utilizes crystal singing bowls and harmonic tones to create deep relaxation states that balance mind-body energy systems.

Report
Westfield Yoga Center is a wonderful! The owners Sally and Tom are so kind and caring! Sally's yoga Nidra is amazing and full of her loving, peaceful energy! Basic yoga on Tuesday evenings by Jackie Furnaro is so great and anyone can do it! Jackie incorporates not just yoga asanas, but pulls in ideas for healing body, mind and spirit such as making affirmations, journaling and meditation! I recommend any who wants to give yoga a try to attend one of Jackie's classes!
